Dissipative phenomena occurring during the orbital evolution of a dwarf satellite galaxy around a host galaxy may leave signatures in the star formation activity and signatures in the colour magnitude diagram of the galaxy stellar content. Our goal is to reach a simple and qualitative description of the these complicated phenomena. We develop an analytical and numerical technique able to study ram pressure, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, Rayleigh-Taylor and tidal forces acting on the star formation processes in molecular clouds. We consider it together with synthetic colour magnitude diagrams techniques. We developed a method to investigate the connections existing between gas consumption processes and star formation processes in the context of the two extended-body interaction with special attention to the dwarf galaxies dynamical regime.
